Frequently asked questions
What is the formula to convert bilirubin?
µmol/L = mg/dL × 17.1. To go the other way, divide instead of multiply.
Which unit does my country use for bilirubin?
The US typically reports mg/dL; most of Europe, Russia and Israel use µmol/L. Your lab prints its unit next to the value.
Does converting change what my result means?
No - it's the same value in a different unit. Always compare it to your own lab's reference range and discuss with your doctor.
